The backstory:

A Coweta County investigator seized Zachary Bormann’s mobile phone in November 2023. FOX 5 has learned they found child sexual abuse material on it. At that time, he was already suspected of possession of child porn after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which led to his arrest.

Deputies said Bormann was already a registered sex offender who was convicted of child molestation and aggravated sexual battery in 2015. They say he served time in prison and was out on probation at the time of his 2023 arrest. This most recent case was investigated by the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
